EVERYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT
THE MARIST POLL
A recent Marist College
Poll surveyed 1,128 adults in Pennsylvania. The survey was conducted over the
phone through calling randomly generated landline and mobile devices over four
days The pollsters further randomized
their results by asking for different members of each household, starting by
requesting the youngest male and moving from there. Having a random selection ensures
that the poll will ask a representative sample of the overall population. Then
researchers can use that data to draw conclusions about the state as a whole.
Marist surveys both
registered voters and likely voters. The result to focus on comes from the
likely voters.
ABOUT THE MARIST COLLEGE
POLL
The Marist poll is
co-sponsored by The Wall Street Journal and NBC News. The partnership conducts
semi-regular polls in traditional swing states, like Pennsylvania and North
Carolina. The poll is conducted at the Marist Institute for Public Opinion
located at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York. Marist has a reputation
for being a very good predictor of voter trends.
